To give thanks to our players at this time of winter festivity we would like to announce that starting on January 11th there will be special limited time event missions for Phantasy Star Universe. The "Winter Event" missions are found at the GUARDIANS Headquarters on the GUARDIANS Colony Clyez City 5th Floor.

Event Mission Bonuses:

Item Drop rate is increased to 250%!
Experience is boosted as you go and reaches 350% at maximum!
Rare enemy encounter rate is much increased!
Number of Boss containers are doubled!

The Ambition of the Illuminus expansion is not required for these missions, all PSU users can play!

In addition to make up for the inconvenience of the December 15th server rollback we will have Super Holy Light weeks for all races from Jan. 11 2008 to Feb. 1 2008.

Additional content updates for 1/11 and more details for the event schedule will be announced next week.

EspioKaos updated the PSUPEDIA web site with Drops and requirements.

================================================== ===



Umberger posted :


Well, Espio's already completed the Alpha mission, so for those wondering what the Beta mission drops on S are, I compiled a list of sorts to hold everyone over:

Rank - Requirement - Enemy levels - S rank Meseta/MP

C - 0 - 20+ - 5,175/182
B - 25 - 55+ - 27,250/273
A - 45 - 80+ - 32,700/327
S - 60 - 110+ - 40,000/400

Beta mission

Block A

Polty - Rapier
Go Vahra - [B] Two-headed Ragnus
Distova - Evil Twins

Onmagoug/Dimmagolus route

Ageeta - [B] Baji-senba
Olgohmon - [B] Uransara
Ollaka - [B] Nokoku-zashi
Tengohg - [B] Daiga-misaki
Kamatoze - [B] Fuka-misaki
Kagajibari - [B] Shi-kikami
Rappy - Rappy Feather (doesn't list the Giga / Skill PP Save dropping, but I'd imagine it does)
Jaggo - Giga / Bullet PP Save
Boxes - [B] Yamata-senba
Boss boxes - Onmagoug Auge, Cubo Mamba, Rabol Cati, Har / Quick, Shock / Resist, Orpad / Legs, [B] Gudda Gant, [B] Gudda Hon, [B] Muktrand, [B] Ank Pikor, [B] Katsuno-zashi, [B] Togeha-zashi, [B] Shigga Bines, [B] Ulteri, [B] Gur Asted, [B] Howrod, [B] Kazarod, [B] Cati-senba, [B] Orpa-senba.

Zoal Goug/Magas Maggahna route

Badira - [B] Storm Line
Distova - Evil Twins
Kog Nadd - [B] Mugunruk
YG-01Z BUG - [B] Cubo Dunga
GSM-05 Seeker - [B] Muzzlefever, [B] Crea Dagger
GSM-05B Bomalta - Phantom, [B] Crea Sword
Grinna Bete C - [B] Two-headed Ragnus
YG-01U BUGGES - Mira-kikami
Grinna Bete S - Grinna Bete S (deco, all ranks), [B] Blackbull
Jaggo - Giga / Skill PP Save
Boss boxes - Shigga Bines, Drumline, Sleep / Resist, Orpad / Guard, [B] Zanshu-misaki, [B] Rattlesnake, [B] Shigga Baret, [B] Gur Missal, [B] Mira-kikami, [B] Hoshi-kikami, [B] Howrod, [B] Majimra, [B] Rabol Cati, [B] Rabol Asted, [B] Orpa-senba
Worth noting is that the [B] Blackbull drops on A.

Dulk Fakis route

Lapucha - [B] Mukfet
Vanda Merha - [B] Shigga Desta
Kog Nadd - [B] Mugunruk
Olgohmon - [B] Uransara
Jarba - [B] Halarod
SEED Magashi - Nothing is listed...I believe he dropped Agito Edges in 1UP, but that may have just been a lucky area drop find due to him being in HIVE.
Jaggo - Giga / Bullet PP Save
SEED Blume - Nothing is listed on S, but it drops a [B] Gigush Line on A.
Boss boxes - Dulk Fakis Cor, [B] Cubo Tuma, [B] Tesbra, [B] Blackheart, [B] Dulk-senba
Again, the [B] Blackbull/Dedda/Halarod all drop on A.

Hope I didn't miss anything. =p

EDIT: My info is from the PSU JP Wiki, which didn't list some drops (for instance, it didn't list the [B] Ank Zagza or Tesbra dropping from Alpha Fakis, but Espio's article says otherwise)...so if I did miss something, sorry. Espio's article is more accurate/informative, but this should hold everyone over until he's done...thanks for writing the pages though Espio, and so fast too. =p

[Indica]

[bagleyboy]

Well, there are more details about the update coming this week. We may get the level cap yet.

Yeah, I'm hoping for that... if I'm going to be 110 throughout the entire thing, I'm going to be pissed off. :|

[EspioKaos]

It's two limited time missions that everyone can play; it has no effect on any of the missions we currently have.

[amtalx]

Tell me this will affect the v1 missions....PLEEEEEEEEASE.

If you mean you just have the original version of PSU, yes you can play. This event is for both AOI and PSU players

[tailz]

250% rare increase, double boss boxes, and 3* luck throughout the entire thing.... life is good http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
kinda kickin myself for playin so much the last 2 weeks... my characters should all be capped by that time so i wont be able to take advantage of the exp boosts http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[bagleyboy]

Now, is there any idea what we have to face in the missions? I'd like to know in advance, so i can bring the right stuff http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Kamiense]

This makes me want to come back on the 11th, if just for the event. I have 8 days to decide + get a new job.

[GuardianElite]

well i know me and my old pal Majuub going to be hunting Kan yu if he ever get back on... I hope Kazarod drops..

[Fure_Rakune]

Hot damn, but its gonna be vanilla missions, so will we be seeing more PSUv1 drops?
That would fair well for those who are still unit hunting, hey and someone might find a Storm, holy shit!

[CelestialBlade]

Oh man, right as I start class XD Well, I do hope they raise the level cap. Other than that, this sounds great :D

[Xaeris]

Yeah, I'll have started class again by then as well...well, the first week or two should be light in work, so I might be able to catass my way to 120 before I have to actually work again. Here's hoping!

I mean I want the extra boss boxes for Desert Goliath. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[ilovetypemoon]

If it's accessible to non-expansion players, I believe it's safe to bet the drops are all going to be V1 drops.

[Laranas]

Nice, it starts 10 days before my classes resume.

That would be likely, but aren't some of the AOI weapons usuable by v1 people like yamatas, etc. Maybe not, but I always thought so (since a v1 hacker showed them way back when).

[Laranas]

Seriously, this server needs a good fixin'.

Thank you for posting this.

I saw that on the intial post, I mean the place where the missions actually take place in.

[Deissa]

It's a VR thing. It takes place in a whole bunch of different areas, including parts of the 1Up Cup and Firebreak quests.

The Japanese Thanks Festa was only two missions: Guardians' Road Alpha and Guardians' Road Beta. (Names subject to localization, of course. I wouldn't want to damage the community any more that I have with fan-made translations. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif Sorry. I couldn't resist.) The event was split into weeks much like the 1Up Cup. The first week, only Alpha was available. The second week took Alpha out and replaced it with Beta. And the final week had both versions of the mission. These are special VR training missions hosted by Holoop Dens.

I'll try to get some actual informative articles on these started soon over at the PSUPedia, complete with drop tables and such. I'm at work right now, so they might have to wait until later this evening when I get home or this weekend when I have more time. Either way, I'll be sure to post the completed articles here for reference.

[Akaimizu]

The only thing that sucks for me (in a small way) is that the only time female humans ever get, by default, better than 0 luck since the 1up cup, and it's on a Thursday. The only guarranteed day of the week I can't play. Well, I already know 0 will be the luck for them on friday.

Another trip to the Miko. (Thank goodness they put her in)

But it looks like an unprecedented number of forced 3 star luck for everybody, during this event. Not sure I'll be capped in everything, at the time. But it sure looks like the event will cap me. Then everything else will be about levelling PAs, making meseta, and waiting for code fixes.

Sweet! Don't let those unique stage layouts go to waste. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

And 3* days here I come! I got so used to them, it sucked hunting when you were back to 0 and 1. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
Sorry for those who were affected majorly from the rollback, but at least they're acknowledging their mistakes.

And thanks for the info folks!

[Micro]

HEL YEH
Kaaaaaaaaaan Yuuuuuuuuuuu time! XD

[Akaimizu]

Firebreak? You mean they're bringing back the fire chucking guys of super Foie power back? and the Only Shagreece in the game that could kill in one attack?

Oh boy. Looks like I'm gonna have to whip out the Cannon of goodness again. The thing that often meant life or death for the party. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

yeahhh photon eraser time

[RadiantLegend]

Kan Yu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SStrikerR]

short notice...ehh idc, i need levels.
Currently my highest char is....67 >_<
I'm gonna try to get him up to 80, which is where the fun begins..AOI A rank story missions...a lot of S2 missions.....oh, and MAG is gonna be a lot better at a higher level.

[Indica]

This was taken from another thread when searching Thanks Festa. I have not found what drops yet

rank required lv + reward meseta MP
C 1+ 13700 137
B 25+ 19800 198
A 45+ 25900 259
S 60+ 32000 320

http://www.megavideo.com/?v=AZE70FI6

[HalfDarShadow]

im sorry im a tad bit lost....


Whats this festa thing???

i kno wat fire break is cause i been to most of these events but this is new to me. unless 4 some reason i cant remeber this lol

can any1 inform me about this Festa?

[EspioKaos]

I've started an article for Guardians' Road Alpha at PSUPedia. You can view it here (http://psupedia.info/Guardians'_Road_Alpha). I still have to add enemy charts for the three different routes and then add all of the enemies to the drop table. Luckily, we've been working on keeping nicely maintained drop templates, so this really won't take all too terribly long. (At least, compared to how long it would've taken had we not been as prepared as we are.)

[SolomonGrundy]

I imagine they will raise the level cap. After all, most semi-hardcore players will have capped by now. Heck, some folks have 2 characters capped by now.

My big question is...what to buy BEFORE the event occurs so that I'll be well porepared for it?

[StrongFiend]

oh yeah ill hit the cap probably at level now i have a reason to get back on psu (been messing around with rockband and call of duty http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif)

[Kamica]

Basically, Thanks Festa is a compilation (you play through one complete block) of many of the popular hotspots and other missions that you have previously played. Youll be playing through 1UP Cup, Firebreak, Bruce's Dungeon, Her Secret Mission, the previously only 1 player story missions, and much more.

So iv been hearing people talking about the ice break or whatever.. Whens it coming out... lol And whats so good about it:) If you want just tell me right here. Is it gonna be a 1up version 2? LOL:P and is it for the pc/ps2 servers

[Gemel]

It's just a rumor nothing about it's been said about on the official site, it hasn't even been mentioned on the japan site.

[Kamiense]

It's not Icebreak. :/

Look at the official site.

U take that back! lol
I want double agito badly just because its very rare and heck its not that bad looking. Better than sweetdeath http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Can't wait for this event =D

[gryphonvii]

OKay but how many people can do this mission, is it gonna be a 4 person party again?

[l_Will_l]

The reason it hasnt been mentioned on the JP site is because its called the winter event. Now either its our 1 year festa which would make sense seeing as JP 360 just had their 1 year like not even a month ago, or its cause of Nobody aka Razor hacking and they are giving back to us a bit, or its a combination of both. Regardless of what its for lets all be thankful were getting something and try to make the best of our time with the bonuses. Way to often I see ppl ranting about what they cant find rather than... umm i dunno.... LOOKING FOR IT lol anyways Happy New Year all and let the Winter Event Begin!

[Rashiid]

And it is not ice break, damn. Enemies are not all ice. Hell, I don't even think there is a single ice enemy.

[l_Will_l]

I think its been cleared up Rashiid. And how do u know that is no ice enemies in the Winter event missions? They arent out yet, and they will be new missions at the GC 5th floor. You dont expect them to Bonus the Story missions do you?

[Helly]

"Number of boss containers is doubled"

Does that mean boxes that appear after you beat a boss?

[l_Will_l]

I would assume thats correct Helly

Well, there are ice monsters.

But this quest has been out on the Japanese version. Everything there is to know about the quests is out there already.

[l_Will_l]

Thanks Cadamar, Umm has this been confrimed that they are 1 Year Festa missions? I havnt read any official info stating so. Oh and Rashiid, Im pretty sure they can make any enemy any element. After all we did just get Lightning Jarbas at LB.

[Shou]

I can't and will not take it back, even back when i was a lvl 70 Fighgunner back in February i always thought it looked like 2 c-rank spears glued together. <_< very lame. Wait for the ragan-ragan ^_^

It doesn't have to be confirmed as such, there's no way they're gonna make up their own quest for the US servers. I mean, this is Sega.

[l_Will_l]

You never know. We may get something out of order, something that JP hasnt gotten yet. This event does give me reason to think thats why the rare monster drop rate test mission was up tho. I really dislike how ppl say well what do u expect its Sega. Its still a company that employs ppl. They have work to do to make a living just like the rest of the world. Alot of ppl make it sound like Sega is this robot only made to keep PSU running. Everyone makes human error. And it is possible for them to make a new missions for us if they wanted to. And if they didnt. Im sure they are still very busy. Alot of us here may think of PSU 24/7 (I must say i am 1 lol) But im sure to the ppl that work for sega, see PSU as work.. its not the same to them.

[Christmas]

Sounds exactly like Thanks Fiesta. I'm willing to bet it is the same; just renamed. Awesome.

[l_Will_l]

Im happy if it is, and happy if it isnt. Anything we get that gives us bonuses, Im happy with http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif and expect to see me up at the beginning for like 40 hours straight like the first week or 2 of 1 up lol

[Golto]

Say hello to Kan yus, Blackbulls, and hyper vipers to just name a few rares. I'm kinda glad I was wrong about getting this event but this might mean we get MAG later than we should.

So Rattlesnake, Shigga Baret, Twin Tornado, Storm, Needle Cannon, Cubo Tuma, and Gur Asted don't count as gunner S ranks?

No, it means bosses which are containers. So we'll have to fight containers to beat the level. Confirmed. They throw New Ash, Soldonium and [B] Monomates at you. And you have to dodge them until they throw a rare board at you. But (and this is the catch!) they NEVER drop a rare board...

I hear that, but it probably only means more poison resists for me...

[Deissa]

Dulk Fakis is a rare map on both Festa quests.
What's more, it's not the generic Fakis, it's Magashi Fakis from Episode 1.

[CelestialBlade]

Magashi Fakis? That's awesome.

But being a rare map....Sega sure loves to continue to make Cubo Tuma just about impossible to even hunt, much less obtain....

How do you know it's only 2 missions? What kind of details do you have on these missions?



*waits for list of drops to be nothing but techer and fighter weapons*



basically.



So Rattlesnake, Shigga Baret, Twin Tornado, Storm, Needle Cannon, Cubo Tuma, and Gur Asted don't count as gunner S ranks?



Don't forget Rikauteri and Degahna Cannon.

[Indica]

I updated the first post with Drops and requirements

[chicken105]

so we have crea doubles as an area drop... What about psycho wand & agito repca? with the increase drop rate from the event plus the increase drop rate from AOI there should be alot more if they drop. O.O!

[-Tidus_415-]

Meh...Only intrested in Double Agitos. Need 6 >.>

[Indica]

Will we be getting Bonus Prizes at the end of the event ?????????

Like, Week + of Luck, Synth Rate Increase, Discount clothes?

Id like to synth another Psycho Wand but wanna wait till we get another Synth Boost again so it will be 100%

[Quikk]

Come on Storm Lines and Hyper Vipers!

Speaking of which will area drops be in affect for these missions or is it just the drops they listed.This 250% rare increase rate is sexy for hunting a psycho wand. :3 and...WHY NO GAOZORANS!?

[Deissa]

There are no points to get in this quest, so there won't be any bonuses to earn.

[AC9breaker]

Man, playing all the different versions of PSU is starting to get me confused. I thought we had the Maximum Attack event already, lol.

[Umberger]

Well, Espio's already completed the Alpha mission, so for those wondering what the Beta mission drops on S are, I compiled a list of sorts to hold everyone over:

Rank - Requirement - Enemy levels - S rank Meseta/MP

C - 0 - 20+ - 5,175/182
B - 25 - 55+ - 27,250/273
A - 45 - 80+ - 32,700/327
S - 60 - 110+ - 40,000/400

Beta mission

Onmagoug/Dimmagolus route

Ageeta - [B] Baji-senba

Tengohg - [B] Daiga-misaki
Kamatoze - [B] Fuka-misaki

Jaggo - Giga / Bullet PP Save
Boxes - [B] Yamata-senba
Boss boxes - Onmagoug Auge, Cubo Mamba, Rabol Cati, Har / Quick, Shock / Resist, Orpad / Legs, [B] Gudda Gant, [B] Gudda Hon, [B] Muktrand, [B] Ank Pikor, [B] Katsuno-zashi, [B] Togeha-zashi, [B] Shigga Bines, [B] Ulteri, [B] Gur Asted, [B] Howrod, [B] Kazarod, [B] Cati-senba, [B] Orpa-senba.

Zoal Goug/Magas Maggahna route

Vanda Merha - [B] Shigga Desta
Kog Nadd - [B] Mugunruk
Olgohmon - [B] Uransara
Jarba - [B] Halarod
SEED Magashi - Nothing is listed...I believe he dropped Agito Edges in 1UP, but that may have just been a lucky area drop find due to him being in HIVE.
Jaggo - Giga / Bullet PP Save
SEED Blume - Nothing is listed on S, but it drops a [B] Gigush Line on A.
Boss boxes - Dulk Fakis Cor, [B] Cubo Tuma, [B] Tesbra, [B] Blackheart, [B] Dulk-senba
Again, the [B] Blackbull/Dedda/Halarod all drop on A.

Hope I didn't miss anything. =p

EDIT: My info is from the PSU JP Wiki, which didn't list some drops (for instance, it didn't list the [B] Ank Zagza or Tesbra dropping from Alpha Fakis, but Espio's article says otherwise)...so if I did miss something, sorry. Espio's article is more accurate/informative, but this should hold everyone over until he's done...thanks for writing the pages though Espio, and so fast too. =p

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Umberger on 2008-01-03 17:47 ]</font>

[Dhylec]

My, that's some impressive drops from the event.
The list should get many jumpy. ;]

[Rayokarna]

No Fortegunner can complain that they have Gur Asted drop and a Blackbull drop on A, thats freaking awesome.

[Sylpheed]

Hell YEH! Another event making the game even easier than it already is! I can see what i'm doing as soon as it starts.

1. Reach new level cap.
2. Take a break until the next level cap.

[Orin654]

Does the item drop rate affect the boss boxes?

[Telina]

no item drop rate will not effect the boss boxes as they drop an item 100% of the time. adding more % would give it a chance to drop more than one item. which would be cool, and the exact reason why it wont happen

[Orin654]

No, I mean, will the boxes have a greater chance at dropping a better item like the end boxes in the 1up cup EX missions.

If not it just means im gonna fail at getting the needle canon with even more boxes http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I don't believe they do, but there are more of them, so in a sense, you have a higher chance of getting something...but you also have a higher chance of getting more Kubara Wood and [B] Scape Doll.

[Indica]

I updated the 1st post again to combine all the information so far

[Telina]

that much you'll probably have to wait till the next wave of information next week to find out that much. I personally don't think they will increase the boss boxes because they already said they'd double the number of boxes, which in essence, doubles your chance of finding something

[Indica]

Double the boxes should most definatly mean better chance of good stuff.

Im hoping to get a few Tesbra wands http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_bunny.gif

[EspioKaos]

OK, I've started an article for the second mission: http://psupedia.info/Guardians'_Road_Beta

I'm still adding information, and as you can tell from the alpha mission, there's quite a bit to add. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Well then think of it this way. We have one 13* right now, and the board for it drops from a rare enemy that is level 100+. Level 120 enemies don't even drop 11* boards (Bil De Vear being the only exception that I know of). It's most likely gong to be quite some time before 12*s (other than Agito Repca/Psycho Wand somewhat) become anything close to "common", and by that time everyone will be too busy complaining over how hard the 15*s are to find or something.

Well, I'm looking forward to the MP more than anything. Can get over the accursed level 10 hill on AT, and probably get my first alt to and over it on AF. As well as get my second alt to fG 10.

The rares are sort of a secondary concern to me.

Me too, i'm hoping to get any possible requirements for the master classes out of the way. But most of all i just really can't stand wartecher, i'm not dissing it at all, but i just can't stand playing it for some reason.

[EspioKaos]

OK, the beta article is more or less complete.

http://psupedia.info/Guardians'_Road_Beta

Ignore the things that say "Template:Onmagoug 100" and such. Those will soon update with the appropriate drop information, I just need to create the templates first. Luckily, I have the new Perfect Bible, which contains drop charts for more or less everything, so I'll be able to fill in the missing info soon.

[VR_Pilot]

Can these event missions be played solo or is a party required?

[DeejayDoom]

Can someone who played the JP version tell me if the boss boxes dropped nicely? i mean, i will get a Double Agito, Rattlesnake and others things more easily in this event aside from the point that there are more boxes? they dropped a lot in the JP version?

Hey, I did all the drop charts for Alpha. >_>


But yeah, regarding the stuff that's there but not on JP-Wiki: we've got premade drop templates for various enemies/bosses at various levels, so we just type in {{Onmagoug 100}} and out pops a list of all the things Onma drops at that level.

In other words, that stuff probably does drop. Just like PSUPedia, PSOW, and all other sites, the JP-Wiki doesn't always have everything 100% filled in. I think it's safe to assume those are all possibly drops, until we find out out otherwise.

[Jarek]

Glad it's finally confirmed. I hate not knowing more than anything.
And thanks for the psupedia stuffs.

[Anduril]

So does this mean I may finally get a Kazarod? Oh Happy day! this is assuming that my XBox doesn't red ring of death me now that it's reached its one-year mark, and I have good enough luck during the event

If this means Zanshu-Misaki will be within reach of regular players, it's a good thing.

Svaltus Sword, Zanshu-Misaki, Cati / Power, Orpad / Guard, Agito Repca and a bunch of EXP for my alts? Very yes.

With my luck, not that I'll find any of that

[iaMNerve]

Can not wait!Does anybody know if we get lv cap to 120!?

[RedCoKid]

Did hoshi-kikami and tesbra drop at a reasonable frequency in JP Thanks Festa, or are those lists just for show?

[Freshellent]

Hm,how convienent. I was just going to start my Double Agito hunt again too. A unit,Kan Yu would be nice. Something to tie up ends on the PT.
I'm glad this is coming,I look forward to it.

[chu-chu-chu]

Hey psupedia folk:


all Festa missions have two bosses in quick succession, with double boss drops at the end of the second boss

You might want to edit that sentence - it's pretty ambiguous. Thanks for the work - it's just that that sentence can mean A LOT of different things.

[chu-chu-chu]

I enjoy all the hope of great boss box drops. But it seems a bit empty.

All the info we have indicates it is more akin to doing the runs faster (getting more boxes in less time) than to having a significantly greater chance of good stuff in the boxes. yeah?

I wouldn't have time to translate all 750+ pages of it! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif But, rest assured that I'll be adding tons of information from the book to PSUPedia over time. Right now drop charts are my main focus. I just want to get all of these templates made so future charts in our mission articles will be a breeze to compile. After that, I'll likely continue with mission rewards charts. I've already completed all of the charts for the GUARDIANS Colony missions.

[desturel]

Had a night to think over this and I realize I'm being screwed again. If only Sega would be so kind as to lube up at least once in a while. The main things I am worried about getting are not going to drop. 9* armor and a specific 7* armor.

Degahna is level 80 so no Rikau-senba. WTF, there is still only one way to get that friggin' armor and it's on a mission with horrible slow down and memory leaks on the xbox360. I seriously can't do more than three runs of Grove of Fanatics without having to reset my system. I don't even see any Naval at all in the listing. Why? Why leave out an important creature to armor makers. No Rabol Rad. No Rabol Lebfa.

Also creatures are level 70 so no 9* armor. More specifically Kotoha-senba and Rabol Dandan (which wouldn't drop anyway since I see no Naval on the list). These are the two hardest armors to get in the game. Seriously. Some may say "well that's only because you don't do the right missions". That is incorrect. I've run tunnel recapture S2 enough times to make some people's eyes bleed. I do holy grounds and Eastern Peril quite frequently to give my self a break from running grove of Fanatics. Baji-senba and Rabol Lebfa dropped with a good frequency during 1up cup. Hiragi-senba will drop on this run. Rabol Rad is easier to get than Dandan for the simple reason that running through an S mission is quicker than running through an S2 mission.

Kotoha-senba is better than Baji-senba IMO. Dandan I prefer to Lebfa, but only by a small amount.

Ganna Line is completely replaced by Storm Line and Castest Line which is why I don't list it with the other two armor.

There is something wrong when I see more Shinowa Line and Serafi-senba than Kotoha-senba in random runs of White Beast (4 serafi) and Sacred stream (3 shinowa). Version 2 drop rate kills version 1 drop rate.

I'm very happy that a few more people will be getting Rikauteri. At least then a few of them might be willing to join me on my quest for the elusive Rikau-senba. Also I wouldn't mind having a Kan yu or two. But why can't they at least add one other mission to the normal game that drops the Rikau-senba or a version 2 mission with ageeta/naval. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Bah, I'm done with my complaining. Bring on the S-ranks! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Mag_Launcher]

Hoooooly crap, I do believe I'm getting a tad bothered looking at that drop list. Looks like I MIGHT be able to update some of my equipment without paying you scalping mofos on english PC/PS2 a damn cent. Maybe this is the kick in the ass that the PC/PS2 economy has been needing for quite some time. (And not only that, we're getting rares from those obscure ass moatoob missions that you couldn't even pay random strangers to play with you anymore.)

[Akaimizu]

My main complaint is to fix the memory leaks. I'd be in so much more of a happy place without those missions killing anybody's drive to run them, for the most valid reason an online game could give.

Otherwise, I hope this will give my Guntecher some nice excercise. My Laser Cannon has been sitting by the side, long enough. (Part of it is because I've been levelling Acrotecher) And I can't wait to see more super opportune times to use it.

[Akaimizu]

Why worry about that? Needle Cannon is something Guntechers can use, so you do know that "by law" you have to wait for those. Besides, we have plenty of Meteor Cannon to hunt. And surprise surprise, I think you can get those in an unbroken level (non-memory leaked), these days. That is, reachable from that familiar Parum Field Base.

[pikachief]

guntechers cant use S rank lasers though http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Akaimizu]

Doh!!!!

Guess I'll just continue to hunt for the one GT weapon I can hunt for without broken-level city. The Hyper Vipers. But I'll still hunt for the weapons I can't use. You can always sell what you can't use, no?

Needle Cannon drops on the Adahna Degahna & Dimmagolus route of Guardian's Road α.

[Akaimizu]

Doesn't mean that the AOI mission drops them any better. That mission is actually horrible for dropping those weapons. On near level with v1 drops. However, it IS a possible mission to do without memory leaking, so I'm happy about that. I had to buy my Twin Tornados (3 million, ouch), but I have something to make my hunt for the Hyper Vipers easier. That is, since Tornados are so much cheaper than Hyper Vipers. I also need to use them to get one of those neat-looking Bows. Don't have any of those yet, but Mother Brain would *Hate* it if I found one. And I *LOOOOOOOVE* making Mother Brain hate life. I have no remorse for that CPU.

Still, I thank my lucky stars that I have an unbroken mission to get them. The same the Other gunners have at least 1 S rank to get in an unbroken level. Still, I feel for fGs. Just like my Crossbow hunt access is hindered, they have a good few S ranks that are hindered in the same way.

lol 3 mil ouch? XD did u check the prices on hyper vipers!? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

i jsut sold mine for 3.8 mil but thats cuz i was trying to get rid of it XD

[Akaimizu]

Half broken, but at least existing Hyper Vipers sell for at least 4.5 million. Or ungrinded perfect ones. Grinded of any kind without failures go for a lot more. For 3 million, you could sell the board alone for that. Which happens to be the price for a halfway up grinded unfailed Twin Tornado, go figure.

I already have 3 hirokteri that I don't use. Too bad Maggahna's run has the Seekers. I want the muzzlefever, but I don't want the robots. (j/k)

Besides I think it's only fair that if I get no Naval, you get no Bysha type-Koh21. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Deissa]

If anyone gets Agito Repca from this quest, I'll be surprised because it means they somehow made HIVE appear in it :E

edit: okay, i'm informed that apprently SEED-Magashi drops it. >.>
i'll believe it when i see it

Yeah, buddy! Heavy armament S-Rank bonanza, and an easy way to crank out those last 30 levels. I'm going to be all over this like 'kraut on kielbasa. I was counting on this event to get me ready to compete in Max Attack G for a spread needle.

Heck, sometimes you want to reset the xbox after 1 run. That 2nd time through Train Rescue alone, was rather painful. You remember that. Run through it once, the 2nd time would've taken us 4 times as long if the others didn't show up. Instead it took maybe 2 1/2.

[SolomonGrundy]

Am I the only on who feels like we are being 'spoiled' and not in a good way...1UP cup was just a few weeks ago, and gave us unprescedented wealth and s ranks...and now there is a another event?

How could I forget. It got so bad that people's xbox would freeze while they tried to run by us. If the slowdown is so bad that it crashes other people's systems, that's a problem.

[The2dCour]

SolomonGrundy: It's already too late. I cut my play time by like 90% after 1up was over and the novelty of the new missions wore off. Though, I wouldn't necessarily say that's bad http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif Yeah, spoiled we are.

Well, I feel like we're being "spoiled", but in a good way....kind of like an after Christmas Clearance sale. "All PSU vanilla S ranks MUST GO!"

Also remember that these are 10-11* S ranks that will be a little easier to obtain. Don't expect the 500% drop rate and waves of nerfed enemies as was the case in the 1up Cup EX missions. The 1up missions drop rates were boosted 250% (if I recall correctly) and we didn't see a deluge of Svaltus Swords (which could only drop during the regular mission, not the EX). While there are several of these items now available, they are nowhere near as common as Halarods/Crimsons/2 Headed Ragnuses et al.

If people are expecting EX-type missions and drop rates, they should prepare for disappointment.

[SammyKiller]

Hmmmm.....Gunner 11* drops all in only 2 missions? Sega must be spoiling/joking with us...but then again...this is so awesome, i still can't believe what i just read.....Rattlesnake [B] is gonna be easier to find along with shigga baret [B] @_@ omg yay!

[BigMike215]

hey i might actually get a kan yu now after 500+ de ragan runs even tho i did get a cati / power

[SammyKiller]

mm cati....i hunted for it soo much now i hate the mission but oh well...and yeah kan yu is awsome....

[majan]

are there details we know prior to the fact kinda how we had drop lists for the 1up cup before it came out on US servers? what can we expect? will rare units be dropping en masse like hard/power charges and the like? or will this pertain mainly just to weapons and armor and EXP like 1up did.

anybody out there have any info?

[JAFO22000]

Dude, there's a thread with twelve pages of replies in it which gives all spectualted information regarding the Winter event .

[majan]

consider me blind. my bust.

[gryphonvii]

cant adahna also drop rikauteri?

[GeekRuler]

If it was said before in the thread sorry, but are area drop rates going to be affected *eyeing the Psycho Wand on the Relics*

[DonRoyale]

WHAT?!

No Zagza in Falkis S?

Disappointing, but the rest makes up for it. ._.

[RedRaz0r]

wait...does the de ragnus part take place in the relics? and if so, does that me the p-wand prices will drop?

[Noblewine]

Alright a new event to milk. I'll be on in a bit.

[Para]

The problem is that SEGA waited too long to give us 1up event which led to small interval inbetween events.

but...

atleast GT won't be so shafted this time around.
Gib GT S ranks plz. Oh and definitely Kan yu!

The JP Wiki didn't list it, that's the only reason I didn't include it on my list. I see no reason why he wouldn't drop it...but as I said at the bottom of my list, I was just too lazy to go search through every enemy/boss and list their possible drops at their respective levels. The only reason I made that list was to give people an idea of what kind of stuff would drop before Espio/PSUP Staff finished their articles on the event missions.

12 weeks between event starts is a small interval?

10-18-07 1up started
1-11-07 winter festa will start

So expect our version of MAG around 4-4-08

[Flwl3ssCowboy]

This event is the pure embodiment(lol sp) of sex. 250% drop rate AND 3* luck.

[Enigmaloner]

Sorry Late to the party studying for Module exams and working on essays.

Weee! Festa time and Super holy luck ^_^ makes me have the warm and fuzzys all over.

[Jasam]

Looks like It will be a good chance to kick my charcter back into gear....

I should have broadband by it's second week (leaving on the first day of the event), so I can finaly play again, and proceed towards not being level 43 ¬.¬

I think the in game missions for 1up were 110% if it was 250% thered be alot more s ranks from non ex missions.

[I-am-Evan]

Tuma.

[KyEmo]

We get 2 bosses each mission?

[Tough]

So how much do you think the price of al weapons will drop i hope a ton i think with that much luck and increased chance of getting a rare item plus double the boss boxes the prices will just die like the double agito cheapest now 60mil i predict half way through the event 4mil and etc....

[Umberger]

From what I've heard of the event, prices weren't changed much, if at all really.

[Tough]

that not possible use common sense if the weapon board is easier to get then there is more of them because of that so the prices will go down the reason must prices are the way they are is because the boards for those weapons are to hard to get

I understand. I am just saying that most of the boss box drop prices didn't take such drastic changes in their price from what I've heard, unless you consider the Kan Yu (drops from level 100+ Lutus Jigga and De Ragan, both of which are in this event, with the former dropping it at a pretty acceptable rate). I'm not trying to say that they did or didn't, just going by what I've heard...I certainly wouldn't mind a huge drop in price for certain weapons though. ;p

[AlphaMinotaux]

SO what zones are these missions taking place in? Since they are quests given at the guardians counter I'm pretty sure all zones won't be available.

Off the top of my head, Linear Line, Raffon Meadow, Raffon RELICS, Agata Islands (I think one part of one of the Firebreak missions is used), whatever the area Valley of Carnage takes place in (block 2 is used).

[Turb0]

I haven't heard a lot about it but it's to my understanding that it's our version of thanks festa. So for those who have played on the JP servers, what is going to drop on the highest rank of these missions? (more specifically, will the blackbull become any more common?) Thanks.

[Sekani]

There's a winter event thread right under your damned nose (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=166309&forum=20&199) and the answer to your question is probably in the first post.

[Sonouge]

This will definitley be good for my EXP, and I might actually play the game with something to do with this huge Thanks Festa going on. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Nobo]

does nebody who played on the jp server know how much tesbras, kazarods, hoshi-kikamis, and shigga barets were going for during this event and if you are allowed to solo the missions?

[CandGoodCam]

hopefully the boss monsters will drop good items

[GeekRuler]

Are the area drop rates going to be increased and if so how much of the mission is in the Relics?
(:3 Psycho Wands :3)

Oh sorry Ky, didn't see that. Yes you do, with both forms of Fakis counting as a boss...so it counts as two.

[KyEmo]

So on "Guardians Road Alpha" You can fight De Ragan/De Ragnus and Adahna Degahna/Dimmagolus?

Another example: De Ragan then Dimmagolus? Or De Ragnus then Adahna?

[MSAksion]

AWESOME - the HOSHI-Kikami!!! No one does Moonlight beast S2 NO ONE XDDD

*Checks Hunting List
*scratches Shi-Kikami off list
*Pencils in HOSHI-Kikami
*RE-Writes Shi-Kikami back into list since im such a completionist =3
*HIGHLIGHTS KAZAROD with big Stars!!!

This Winter Event is gonna be AWESOME!!! Even MORE Reasons to NEVER PLAY PSU V.1 missions EVER AGAIN =3 *SACRASM levels DETECTED are off the scale here...

No, the route you pick determines whether you fight De Ragan + De Ragnus or Adahna + Dimmagolus.

Always De Ragan then De Ragnus, and always Adahna and Dimmagolus.

[Alamar]

Ok so. I have heard double Agito is in the event,then I heard no. So will the Double Agito Fall or not? Anyone know for sure?

Yea, according to PSUPedia it does drop

http://psupedia.info/Guardians'_Road_Alpha

[Cerberus1981]

Anyone know if the boss boxes in these missions have AoI or PSU vanilla drop rates? as we all know there is a big difference. If they are just PSU vanilla boss boxes but doubled then I'm not optimistic of finding anything, the chance of getting something from a vanilla boss box was slim and none and slim and none doubled is still slim and none.

I want to snag a Rattlesnake, Gur Asted and Needle Cannon.

[Ahkaskar]

Super Holy Luck is a joke. Somehow, I do worse with drops when I have 3 luck. My theory is that it multiplies the drop tables, making the common rares pop up far more often.

And I might add that double boss boxes don't make any drops more likely. It only amounts to more pulls from the drop table in less time.

[Akaimizu]

My best luck seems to come when I trade 0 luck for 0 luck at the Miko; which I was able to do 3 times in a row, now. But it hasn't affected my drops. Then again, I only truly tested that for the first two 0 for 0 trades since I was never soloing or party leader on the most recent one.

Of course, for me, the 3 star luck, in level, hardly the real consideration when the drop percentage shoots up, by itself. It will be just nice to see the synth percentage numbers go higher when you go back to make the weapons...from the boards you're obviously going to get.

Though you have the right thought, you just didn't put it the right words.

The super holy luck gives a boost to DAR (drop anything rate). This doesn't affect boss drops/boxes, just regular enemies.

Are these missions going to be co-op only missions?

No, you can join with any party size 1 (solo) to 4 (you and three others).

[AlphaMinotaux]

Will Plains Overlord be one of the playable missions since I'm still in search of a Cati / Power?

[EspioKaos]

No. This event has no effect on existing missions. The bonuses only affect the two VR missions that will be added as part of the event.

[AlphaMinotaux]

Yeah but will Cati / power drop in one of these two missions? If it doesn't i might as well fork out the cash for one right now instead of waiting.

[PALRAPPYS]

All I want in Winter Event...

Hoshi-Kikami
Cati / Power

Looks like I'll have some soloing to do. Those drops aren't friendly after all. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Phetty]

It'll drop from Guardians Road Alpha on the De Ragan + De Ragnus route.

Yeah, it has a chance of dropping from S-rank De Ragan boss boxes (if you take the De Ragan path) in the Alpha mission.

[Akaimizu]

De Ragan boss boxes? Crikey. Might as well save the money to buy it. That De Ragan hardly ever drops anything, and he's the boss pretty much everybody in the game has seen the most. Ok, everybody that didn't wait 8 months to join PSU.

[AlphaMinotaux]

360 prices currently linger around 18mil, thats with the same 8 cati powers that have been selling for the past month or so. Hopefully prices will drop a few mil, If not oh well.

The only 2 bosses I care about in this event are on the same route http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[mvffin]

so you do actually choose your route? I thought it was random map that you get, seeing as how dulk fakis is the "rare" map.

Actually, I said nothing about it affecting the boss box drops. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif I was saying that double the number of boss boxes doesn't mean double the chances of finding something.

u start the mission and pick either dragons or robots.

Then along the mission u pick up chips, which can increase the EXP you get in the mission.

At the end u fight 2 bosses in a row and get boss boxes for both bosses.

Thats it. lol

[superdood22]

Wow, im not gonna look through 16 pages but I can assume that there are some unhappy PSU players that play this game ALL the time and has EVERYTHING. :/

[KyEmo]

Hmm, I'm confused.

So you kill the boss and then kill the second THEN get the boxes. So do you get 2x boxes for each boss meaning 4 "stacks" of boxes or 2 for killing 2 bosses..
